Kendall Hill, an attorney with an office in Decatur, was released this week from John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. He was the only Wise County resident on board.
Hill suffered injuries to his collarbone, a fractured right arm, broken ribs and some internal injuries.
The crash occurred on the afternoon of Oct. 6 amid cloudy and windy conditions. Near 2:30 p.m., pilot Rod Lawrence reported to air traffic controllers that he was quickly losing fuel pressure and both engines had failed. Witnesses called 911 and reported that a plane looked like it was going down.
Emergency responders from several agencies located the downed and battered plane in a pasture near Currie Road. The plane plowed through a water tank on its fall to the ground.
Lawrence was released this week from Harris Methodist in Fort Worth.
Robert Schumacher, the plane's owner and a part owner of Texland Petroleum, was the first of the four patients released. He was released last week.
However, passenger Jerry Namy, president of Texland Petroleum, remains in Harris Methodist. He has been moved out of the intensive care unit.
The plane was on its way back to Fort Worth after departing from Oklahoma City. Namy and Hill were checking on some thoroughbred horses they own in Oklahoma.
The National Transportation Safety Board is still investigating why both engines on the plane failed. Such an investigation might take months before completion.
